is locked with two electromagnetic locks blocking possible opening during centrifugation. Rotation chamber casing
was made of thick steel sheet. The rotation chamber bowl is made of stainless steel sheet. Rotors and containers
are from aluminum, lids from polycarbonate and reductive inserts from the polypropylene.

5.4 Rotor and accessories installation

• Connect the centrifuge to the mains (master switch on the back side of the centrifuge).
• Turn on the centrifuge (button on the side of the centrifuge).
• Open the cover of the centrifuge by pressing the COVER key (see section Centrifuging/Control Panel). Prior
to putting the rotor in, one has to check if the rotating chamber is free of impurities, e.g., such as dust, glass
splinters, residues of fluids that must be taken away.
• One shall fit the rotor on the motor shaft driving it home on the cone.
• Screw-in the bolt for fixing the rotor (clockwise) and screw it tightly home with the supplied spanner for the rotor.
• Swing-out rotors have to be provided with the buckets in all seats. One should remember that every buckets
swings individually. Bucket suspension studs should be lubricated periodically with petroleum jelly.
• In case of rotors designed with the cover they must not be used without it. Rotor covers must be closed exactly.
Rotor covers ensure smaller drags of the rotors, proper setting of the test-tubes and airtight sealing.
• One should use only buckets intended for selected types of the rotor.
• Fill test tubes outside the centrifuge.
• In case of centrifuging in an angle rotor, test tubes (buckets) have to be filled properly in order to prevent from
pouring fluids during centrifuging.
Tubes must be filled so that the material does not escape from
the reservoir during centrifugation.
One shall fill tubes according to formula:
Max liquid level < Tube height – Internal tube diameter/2
Internal tube diameter
Observe the manufacturer's restrictions about the filling of the test tube.
It is recommended to equalize vessels loads as much as possible in order to ensure minimal vibrations
during operation.
• In order to prolong lifetime of the rotor and gaskets rotors shall be lubricated with the maintenance oil, while
gaskets and threaded parts shall be lubricated with the petroleum jelly.
• For replacement of the rotor one shall unscrew clamping and then grab the rotor with both hands at opposite
sides, taking it away from drive shaft by pulling it up.

5.5 Control device

The microprocessor control unit of the centrifuge ensures broad possibilities of providing, realization and reading
of work parameters.

5.6 Setting parameters

Data setting and read-out system forms hermetically closed keyboard with distinctly accessible operation points.
Easily readable displays signaling individual performed operations facilitate operator's programming and recording
of parameters and condition of the centrifuge.
The centrifuge is provided with the USB interface that enables connection of the centrifuge to external PC unit
with the printer and recording the centrifugation parameters.
